I initially misread "pom" as another word. Then I wondered what adorable pom looks like

It does not work for me. I still get NSFW posts - although blurred out.

But browsing ALL is a good way of discovering new communities - the solution should not be "just don't use the feature"

I noticed I have an option that says "Show NSFW posts" that I have enabled but it does not seem to do anything. Maybe the problem is there

EDIT : I am stupid, i should have unchecked the option to hide NSFW posts.. also I forgot to press "save settings".. it works fine now :)

I love how this contrasts with the CEO statement that many subreddits would go back to normal after the 2 days

Au début je visais de faire grève juste les 2 jours. Mais au vu du comportement de Reddit, et vu aussi qu'en fait Lemmy c'est vraiment pas mal, maintenant je n'ai aucun doute que je vais quitter Reddit définitivement.

Je compte utiliser le logiciel qui modifie tous les messages pour effacer virtuellement mes commentaires et rameuter vers la plate-forme Lemmy.

I am not sure they are the best. I got permabanned once for posting a link to removvedit (a website to show removed posts). They did not just delete the post they really permabanned. I double checked the rules and saw no mention of this being forbidden before posting.

I tried appealing but they did not want to cancel the ban because I dared criticise their moderation (I found permaban to be very extreme and I disagreed with their decision).

Since that day I can't help but wonder how many users have been permabanned for small reasons

I am comparing a drug to a drug that's the whole point. Phones are drugs. For adults and children alike.

The problem is not in the phone itself. It's in the lack of doing things that kids should normally be doing at that age. They will play with their phone instead of playing physically (less tonus), sleeping (constant tiredness), talking with their parents (learning) or other kids (socializing).

I know kids like that in my family. You can tell from the dark lines under their eyes that they spend most of their day staring at a screen. And if you ask them to play outside they just don't know what to do, they need access to a screen even with other kids. It's really a scary sight. And its a drug yes

I'm all in to get programming classes where children learn to code on PCs. That's a high pass for me. But AFAIK children aren't doing programming on their phones.

In general i doubt using a phone at school is going to help them program or teach them about technology. They have plenty of time to explore phones on their own when they get home, especially now that kids don't go much outside anymore. It's not like a school ban would be cutting that away from them.

I was talking of the app Jerboa, not the Web browser (i assume that's the Web browser you are showing). But yes I could use the Web browser for this

It does on PC but not within the app. Although I could just use the PC to discover new communities and subscribe to them

We can all agree that alcohol isn't bad by itself and that we can learn to use it safely (don't drink too much, knowing when we had enough etc..). And yet we keep away alcohol from children. Why? Because it is a well-known fact that children may not have the capability to limit themselves; they might very well become addicted and fall into it.

Why should it be any different for mobile phones? We know it can become an addiction. And we also know that children do not have the means to limit themselves because of their young age.

Deliberately letting a kid having a phone for an indefinite amount of time is being irresponsible. What would be responsible is only allowing to use the phone for a limited time.

Schools banning phone could be one way towards that. It would be a good way too because the kid would not be suffering from any social pressure from their peers as everyone would be concerned with the ban.

I do not see why we should upvote everything we see. If barely anything gets upvoted, content will still be there and will likely be at the top (if all comments have just 1 vote they all have equal chance to be at the top).

The Reddit guidelines looked good to me. Upvote if you think it's relevant. Downvote if you think it does not belong there. Don't do anything if it doesn't fall in these two cases.
